As I've said here before, those of you living outside of the DC Metro have no idea how "good" things are here - and the "get it while the gettn's good" attitude that has permeated every level of the Federal Service....

I think we ought to institute the Hunger Games. Let's randomly select 12 politicians every year and have them fight to death in the arena as a reminder that they should be working for us and following the Constitution.

It is really something, isn't it? I've worked in DC twice, separated by over a decade. There is definitely a last-days-of-Pompeii, or maybe an "après-moi-le-deluge" feeling to the place now, with frantic partying, building and development everywhere you look. People are younger, prettier, wealthier and more hipsterish than I remember, but underneath it all is a menacing awareness that sooner or later the music will perforce come to an end.

It truly is - and has been a growing "feeling" over the past 2~3 years, and it's inescapable - whether at holiday get togethers, sports events, whatever - there is a most definite Fin de siècle overtaking the entire region.

BTW, I say we start a project to move the federal capitol to Kansas, the geographic center of the contiguous US and closer to Alaska and Hawaii.

At the same time, we should move the UN to sub-Saharan Africa, closer to more of the nations of the world.

We should do this to combat CAGW. All that extra travel by representatives is going to kill us all. No really, kill us all, just ask a climate "scientist", especially one that works in or near the "state" of DC.

I think we ought to institute the Hunger Games. Let's randomly select 12 politicians every year and have them fight to death in the arena as a reminder that they should be working for us and following the Constitution.
